NASCAR<\/a> is racing at a road course for the fourth and final time during the 2026 Cup season, heading to Sonoma Raceway. TNT Sports takes over from Prime Video for the next five weeks, with all races simultaneously\u00a0streamed on HBO Max.<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite a disappointing\u00a0result last weekend after a mid-race wreck,\u00a0Shane van Gisbergen again enters as the favorite, and is the defending winner at Sonoma.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, Corey Heim became the 209th different driver to win a NASCAR Cup race, besting teammate Tyler Reddick in a dramatic battle for the win, claiming victory as a part-time driver. Reddick cut a tire down soon after, further diminishing his championship lead to just eight points over Denny Hamlin.<\/p>\n

In this story, you can find all the information you need to watch this weekend’s action at Sonoma, from the weekend schedule to where to watch, and even the full entry list.<\/p>\n
